I’m the Over-Scheduler

Some weeks you survive the week. Other weeks, it survives you. This is one of those weeks.

Everything my email inbox throws at me, I catch with a twinkle in my eye, slapping it on the ever growing to-do list, fearlessly saying, “Sure, I can do that!” Believing I can find hours as yet unknown to humankind.

All the while ignoring the buzz in the back of my head that says, “Uhhhh, you may want to think about this.”

Not me! I stand on the pile of post-it note reminders, my towel (from the shower I can’t take because I don’t have time) waving in the hurricane force winds of my optimism. Hands on my hips, skin dry and pale from the lack of sun and body lotion (because who’s got time for moisturizer when there’s work to be done?!).

Who needs sleep? Who needs to blink?

More coffee! There’s work to be done!

I’m the Over-Scheduler!

Leaping bottomless to-do lists with single bounds (that look more like staggered, exhausted hops). Stronger than the reality that governs us all! Faster than the time it takes to brew my coffee (24 hours because I only drink cold brew in the summer).

And I’ve got more confidence than time or sense.

Welcome to Wicked Wednesday, where this week’s prompt is “survive.” I’m not a bad-ass. But I’m likely on the manic side of my bipolar disorder — a time when I think can Do All The Things. Unfortunately, because I’ll drag my tired ass over hot coals rather than miss a deadline, I often get it all done — at risk to my well-being. But once the mania sets in, there’s nothing to do but hold on and survive it.

About the author

Kayla Lords

I am an erotic author, sex blogger, podcaster, freelance writer, an opinionated marketer, and speaker. You can find me online sharing my innermost sexual thoughts and experiences, teaching other bloggers how to make money writing about sex, and helping kinksters have healthy BDSM relationships. I'm also a masochistic babygirl submissive with an amazing and sadistic Daddy Dom and business partner, John Brownstone. Welcome to my kinky corner of the internet!

It sounds like the manic phase can be a good thing, and then again it sounds like the manic phase is not a good thing. I can imagine that the drop can be so much harder when the manic phase passes and not everything on your list has been done. Please take care of yourself, sweetie!

Oh boy, I can totally relate to this! It can be so hard sometimes when you never want to let anyone down, even if getting the work done half-kills you. I’m contemplating surviving underneath my TBR pile and mountain of paperwork with a Starbucks, pack of muffins and a gargantuan bag of crisps. I could just pretend I’ve gone on a camping holiday! 🙂
